Let’s talk about mom bod pressure, which is the invisible weight society places on mothers to “bounce back” after birth.

In episode 79 of Wild and Well, I sit down with Dietitian Atheana Brown to unpack how diet culture, body shame, and systemic expectations affect moms’ mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

We chat about ways to resist these pressures, reconnect with body trust, and raise children who grow up feeling confident in their own bodies.

Have you ever felt pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby?

When we become mothers, our identity, brain, values, priorities and bodies shift. Yet, there is immense societal pressure to be the same as we were before having children including looking like we never gave birth. This is what we cover in this episode.

In episode 79 of Wild and Well, I am joined by Dietitian Atheana Brown to talk about mom bod pressure and how to drop out of diet culture.

We dive deep into the concept of ‘mom bod pressure’ – the unrealistic societal expectations placed on mothers to “bounce back” after birth – and unpack how this pressure is rooted in broader systems of oppression, diet culture, and body shaming.

Atheana and I talk about:

* What mom bod pressure

* How bounce back culture shows up in our day-to-day lives as mothers

* How body shame shows up for mothers in both subtle and overt ways

* The deep ties between body shame, patriarchy, and systemic injustice

* How to push back against diet culture and reconnect with body trust

* Raising body-confident children in a world obsessed with appearance

* Reclaiming the word “fat” and reframing it without stigma

* Practical tools for moms to resist harmful body narratives

* Why intuitive eating can be a revolutionary act of selfcare

What if postpartum wasn’t something to “bounce back” from, but a sacred window of deep rest, healing, and care?

A time to slow down and transform.

In episode 78 of Wild and Well, I am joined by Jojo Hogan, a postpartum doula, massage therapist, and the founder of the Slow Postpartum Movement.

Together, we explore how new mothers can reclaim rest, support, and sacredness during the early weeks after birth.

Jojo shares her journey into postpartum work, the philosophy behind ‘mothering the mother,’ and why so many new parents feel overwhelmed and unsupported in today’s “WEIRD” (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) culture.

From redefining the postpartum experience to practical strategies for preparing in advance, this episode offers a wealth of insight for expectant parents, birth workers, and anyone passionate about maternal wellbeing.

Jojo and I chat about:

* What a postpartum doula really does

* Why mothers were never meant to raise

* The origins and philosophy of the Slow Postpartum Movement

* How traditional cultures nurture postpartum mothers and what we’ve lost

* Planning for postpartum like we plan for birth

* Mindset shifts including asking for help and investing in services over stuff

* Co-regulation, nervous system care, and how maternal wellbeing shapes infant development

* Creating a postpartum “village” even without local family

* Preparing emotionally, physically, and practically for postpartum life

* Why slow living isn’t just for mothers

Since I’ve been asked more than once for the recipe for the creamy chocolate gummies I made yesterday, here it is.

The basic gummy recipe I use is a ratio of 1 cup liquid to 5 tablespoons of gelatin. From there, you can use whatever liquid and additional ingredients you like — adjust the flavour and sweetness to taste. Once you know this gummy ratio, you can make any flavour you want.

Here’s the chocolate gummy version specifically:

Ingredients

* 1 cup cream or milk of choice
* 5 tablespoons powdered gelatin
* 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder (we used my homemade bone broth hot cocoa mix)
* 1+ tablespoons sugar (we used about 2 tablespoons maple syrup, but use whatever you like — taste before pouring into moulds and adjust as needed
* 1 k**b of butter
* 2 squares dark chocolate
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 squeeze of Shroom Soda flavour Cream Soda

Instructions
 Add all ingredients except the Shroom Soda to a saucepan and heat gently on low, stirring until the gelatin has fully melted and everything is well combined.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once it’s warm but not hot — and before the gelatin starts to thicken — add the Shroom Soda. I usually add heat-sensitive ingredients at this stage.

Pour into silicone moulds and let set at room temperature, or place in the fridge to speed up the process.

(The Shroom Soda is a natural flavour with functional mushrooms in it. Comment below or msg me if you want link for it.)

Have you read my third book, Mama Let It Go: Finding Joy, Freedom and Ease in Motherhood?

Modern day mothers are bombarded by toxic expectations, outdated societal beliefs, harmful cultural pressures, and endless comparison at the touch of a button.

When we hold tightly to these restrictions, true joy and freedom in motherhood can feel out of reach — even with a great night’s sleep.

Many mothers work hard to stay fit, healthy, and prioritise selfcare, yet often overlook the subtle, unconscious patterns that hold them back from living the lives they truly desire.

Letting go is the missing piece.

Drawing on her own experience as a mother, her therapeutic work as a clinical psychologist, and the latest research, Dr Hilary Claire guides mothers to release limiting beliefs, guilt and shame, the super-mom myth, and the unwanted opinions of others.

What is left?

A freedom and ease to do motherhood your own way.

This is possible.

This is liberation.

This is the third and final book in The Vibrant Mamas Series which also includes The Motherhood Reset and Nourished Mama.

What you believe about money is running your finances.

Our beliefs are running so much of our lives, and our finances aren’t exempt from that.

Start by understanding what your internal beliefs about money are. Write them down.

Question their validity.

Are these beliefs yours or did you pick them up from someone along the way?

Are they helpful?

Do you want them to run your finances? Or do you want to form more helpful and updated beliefs about money?

This is possible and actually not that hard.

In episode 77 of Wild and Well, money expert Jessica Moorhouse and I chat about how we can look at our unhelpful money beliefs and start to change them if they aren’t serving us.

Do you ever wonder if your money mindset is helping or holding you back?
 Our financial health is a big part of our overall wellbeing.

Yet many of us carry money beliefs and patterns passed down through generations, often without realizing it.

If you want to break unhelpful cycles and model healthy money habits for your kids, this episode is for you.

In episode 77 of Wild and Well, I chat with Certified Financial Counsellor and money expert Jessica Moorhouse about how to let go of unhelpful money stories, reframe limiting beliefs, and build lasting financial confidence.

Jessica explains why awareness alone isn’t enough. Real change comes from continuous practice, self-reflection, and understanding how our environment and upbringing shape our relationship with money.

Jessica and I chat about:

* Changing your money beliefs from limiting to helpful

* The impact of our family and environment on our behaviour and money habits

* Breaking intergenerational money patterns

* Why we must learn about ourselves and our beliefs before we can expect to be good with money

* The very real barriers holding women back from being confident in their careers and finances

* The positive impact of understanding your patterns and emotions around money on all areas of your life

* How to become truly confident when it comes to finances

* Raising kids with healthy money beliefs

* Tips for those wanting to start a business or become an entrepreneur
